This fierce five-piece from London bring classic metal into the now; inspired by the likes of Iron Maiden\, Testament\, and Symphony X\, they blend thrashy riffs with melodic hooks\, blistering solos\, and choruses built to be shouted back from the pit. \nLowdown\nAll Hail The Riff; a war cry synonymous with the Hertfordshire-based four-piece that has seared its mark into the local music scene. Riding high on the success of their recent album launch\, Lowdown is poised to take the UK metal landscape by storm! Drawing inspiration from the crushing grooves of Black Label Society\, the soaring melodies of Alter Bridge\, the raw aggression of Pantera\, and the ominous weight of Sabbath\, Lowdown fuse doom-laced chords with searing with down-tuned riffs-pinch harmonics that leave you hungry for more. \n  \nDoors 7.30pm\nEntry £12 advance (plus online booking fee)/£14 on the door. \n  \nAge: persons aged 16+ may attend without a chaperone provided they have photo ID – younger patrons can be signed in at the door and accompanied for the duration of the show by a responsible adult. \nEarplugs are available upon request (50p). \nDownstairs bar open until 1am. \nWe are just a 5-minute stroll from the station; like all our gigs this show finishes well in time for the last trains North and South to Cambridge\, Peterborough and London. \nFor full up to the minute listings please consider signing up to our mailing list for information on existing and upcoming gigs straight to you! \nAnd remember… Club 85 loves you! xo
